The rich history and architectural roots of THE MART set the stage for both flagship and disruptive brands like ours to showcase their lines to those most appreciative of design innovation."

    Attendee Reflections

    “NeoCon was fantastic this year! I loved the level of creativity in product design and finishes, especially the bold use of color—saturated tones alongside softer palettes (seafoam is back!). Best of all was reconnecting with colleagues and dear friends.” - Tom Polucci, Firm-wide Director of Interiors at HOK

As someone who is continuously looking for fresh ideas in art, architecture, furniture, and cultural events, NeoCon is so diverse, fun, and energizing.” - Michelle Kool, Facility Planning Senior Specialist, Northwestern Mutual

    “Entering NeoCon was like stepping into a world of endless inspiration, where every corner—from the programming to the products—held new possibilities for the future of interior design. Surrounded by fellow design enthusiasts, I felt an instant connection, like finding my creative community where ideas flowed freely, and boundless creativity thrived. My experience at the show and as part of the Best of NeoCon jury not only filled me with gratitude,
    but left me filled with excitement and equipped with fresh insights to fuel my own design journey.”
    - Fabian Perez, Associate Designer, NetJets and Best
    of NeoCon juror

    “It’s exciting to have so many showrooms in one location and to see some of the similar trends across several different brands. Walking the halls of THE MART at NeoCon, I am on the lookout for emerging trends––in everything from materiality, furniture, color, and more. I also get excited to see how
    the manufacturers are responding to changing business needs with their products, and imagining how we’ll use them. It brings fresh new ideas to our projects each year!”
    - Sarah Kuchar-Parkinson, Owner, Creative Director, Kuchar Studio
